Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 22, 1918.

Application med June 24, 1918. serial No. 241,464.

To all whom z't may concern:

Be it known that I, SILVIO CAROSELLI, an Italian subject, residin at Detroit, county of Wayne, State of Mic igan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Neckties, and declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art towhich it pertains to make and use'the same, reference being had to the accompanyin drawings, which form a part of this speci cation.

My invention relates to an improvement in ties shown in the accompanying drawings and more particularly pointed out in the followingspecification and claim.

It is well known that four-in-hand ties as ordinarily constructed, are lined with a loose padding of canton flannel or other suitable material to give the tie, when worn, the desired fullness necessary for a pleasing effect, and it is also well known that the lining, after the tie has been worn several times, frequently 'becomes misplaced beneath its covering of silk, producin a hunchedup appearance which it is iliicult to remove by pressin It is also welknown that when a tie is pressed on its face the silk is often injured and the appearance of newness destroyed.

It is therefore one of the objects of this invention to provide a construction in which the tie may be opened down the back in order that it may be pressed from the inside,-means bein rovided to detachably secure the folds o t e tie together in such manner as to give the folds the appearance of being permanently connected together as ordinarily constructed.

Another object of the invention is to secure the lining to the tie by sewing its edges to the edges of the tie roper. Thus the lining cannot become misplaced through wear and when the tie is opened for pressing, the pressing iron may be applied directly to the lining and thus the tie proper is protected from contact therewith. As the tie, however, may be pressed from the inner face of the material it is not apt to be injured through contact lwith the pressing iron on portions not rotected by the lining;

With the oregoing and other o jects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes may be made in the precise embodiment of the invention as herein disclosed without departing' from the spirit of the same.

In the accompanying drawings formingy part of this specification:-

Figure l is an elevation of a four-in-hand tie as viewed from the back,-showing the usual folded overlapping edges at the back of the tie opened to expose the inclosed lining or padding,-sewed to the edges of the folded portions.

Fig. 2 is elevation of the tie Shown in Fig. 1 showing the detachable edges folded as they would appear when secured together for wear.

Referring now to the letters placed upon the drawings:

A, denotes a four-in-hand tie of usual shape, the overlapping edges B, B at the enlarged ends of the tie being detachablyconnected together at the back by suitable fastening devices C.

The overlapping parts of the relatively narrow band D, connecting the end portions are preferably sewed together as ordinarily constructed, but if desired the overlapping edges of the tie may be detachably connected together from end to end.

E, indicates a lining of canton fiannel or other suitable material, sewed to the tie adjacent to its outer edges.

Having indicated the several parts of the tie by reference letters its construction will be readily understood. When the tie becomes creased or rumpled it may be readily restored to its original smooth condition by disconnecting the folded edges at the back of the tie so as to lay bare the lining within. The tie may then be pressed without danger of injuring the fabric or displacingthe lining by applying the iron directly to the lining. the wrinkles in both the tie andits lining being thus easily smoothed out. -As the lining 1s sewed to the edges of the tie, instead of being .loosely inserted as ordinarily constructed, it cannot Ybecome disof reference
